Never be afraid to try something new. Remember amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.

December 15th - December 21st

Rachel continues to grow and learn. She drives us nuts and at the same time is so incredibly cute that we can't be mad at her. We are pretty sure that she knows words as we will occasionally catch her saying full phrases, but she won't say anything when we ask her to. She loves to riverdance on the floor (we feel sorry for our neighbors below us) as well as dance while music plays on the TV. 

Monday 15th - Monday morning Rachel and I went to do some grocery shopping. In the evening our friends Kevin and Kendra came over for dinner.  After dinner we drove over to Draper and saw their "Tree of Life," which is a Christmas tree in a park that they put a ton of lights on. It was so pretty.  After we finished seeing the tree Kevin and Kindra treated us to the new Draper Leatherby's where we got fries and ice cream. 

Tuesday 16th - Tuesday morning Rachel and I went to play group.  The house we went to was so much fun. They had a slide in the basement.  We were there for almost 3 hours. They gave the kids cookies at the end which Rachel loved. After we got home Rachel and I took our naps. 

Wednesday 17th - In the morning Rachel and I made a trip to Jiffy Lube to get the front tire pumped up.  The rest of the day was spent relaxing with Rachel at home.  That night John and I watched the finale of Survivor. We went to bed early since John was feeing sick.

Thursday 18th - Thursday was a very relaxed day.  John and I watched Biggest Loser after Rachel went to bed.

Friday 19th - Rachel and I went and did the very last of our Christmas shopping.  For dinner we had my friend from middle school over and her husband.  They were here for almost 4 hours and it was so fun to catch up with her. John and her husband had fun swapping mission stories.

Saturday 20th - We all got up early and headed to our ward Christmas party.  The food was not bad. They had a ton of Costco muffins and breakfast casseroles. A high school elite choir came and sang some Christmas music.  After the breakfast we headed over to Tyler and Katie's for all the grandkids to make sugar cookies.  Rachel was kind of cranky but she enjoyed eating the candy. After we got home Rachel hung out in her room playing for an hour instead of taking a nap.  John watched the Aggie Bowl game and I took a short nap on the couch. After Rachel got up we watched the finale of Amazing Race. We were pretty happy with the outcome. After that, our friends Becca and Joe came over for games.  I lost 3 games of 7 Wonders really badly and John won 1 of them.

Sunday 21st - In the morning we got up and got ready for church.  John was a huge help getting Rachel ready and making the soup for me.  We headed to Lehi for the blessing of Jeremy and Heather's cute new baby. After Sacrament meeting we headed over to Heather's brother's house for a lunch of soup and cornbread.  After we got home we put Rachel down for a nap and worked on packing and cleaning up the house. That night Jeremy came by and John went with him to play games with their family.
